Respect

[Intro]
(Pipe that shit up, TnT)
Oh, oh, yeah
(Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) I like this shit right here, look
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na, hahaha

[Chorus]
I'ma have to take a stand for the shit I believe in
Got rich and almost died tryin', so I need my respect
This shit run through my blood, it's not the air we breathe in
'Cause if it was, I'd be just like these other rappers, but I'm blessed
Why I feel like everybody sneak dissin'? Like they won't be missin'? Leave 'em with three senses
I'ma try to knock them ears and nose off
Hear 'em say I change 'cause I'ma be different, that shit don't be fiction, and I don't be hidden
I'ma keep my guard until I doze off

[Verse 1]
Nigga, this shit premeditated, heh, 'cause this my life, I made it, eh
They ain't lean back when they took their shot, but all them niggas faded
Wonder how they gon' feel when I'm on top, probably say I'm overrated
It may look strange 'cause I'm alone, but do not think I traded
More money, more problems, no, we can't kick it, I know it's sticky
Twenty years old, but think like sixty, move like I swim with fishes
Cry with a smile, nigga, I'm vicious, you know my intentions
Stabbed in my back, I ain't get no stitches, these racks my prescriptions
To deal with pain, I ain't take no drugs, I got these racks prescribed
Yeah, I know you smoke a lot, but I got some' that'll leave you fried
Show you how to stroke a knot with your thumb, so your shit don't get tired
Know I'm a soldier, I recovered when I almost died
'Fore I let 'em in, they gotta meet the requirements
Gotta have some skill, learn to adapt to any environment
Gotta know how to work that pole when you hear that drill like a fireman
Gotta know how to move low key whenever I have you wirin', mm, whoa

[Chorus]
I'ma have to take a stand for the shit I believe in
Got rich and almost died tryin', so I need my respect
This shit run through my blood, it's not the air we breathe in
'Cause if it was, I'd be just like these other rappers, but I'm blessed
Why I feel like everybody sneak dissin'? Like they won't be missin'? Leave 'em with three senses
I'ma try to knock them ears and nose off
Hear 'em say I change 'cause I'ma be different, that shit don't be fiction, and I don't be hidden
I'ma keep my guard until I doze off

[Verse 2]
Tal'm 'bout you tired? Well, look, I'm tired, too
Tired of bein' broke, but you look tired like you got swine flu
Tired of these hoes cuttin' you off like when your line due
Know what I'm worth and what I did, I trust what mines do, that's loyalty, nigga
Somethin' they lost 'cause they too busy on the 'Gram puttin' on a stunt like they the boss
I don't brag, but ask my niggas how much they got up in their vault
I don't brag, but ask my niggas how much they got up in their vault
Had to say that shit two times, so I can steer your train of thought
But when that shit start comin' in, watch how they fold
But I'm used to it, ask mama, I ain't never like hangin' up clothes
Ain't shit new, but a big blue stack of hundreds that I just mowed
Say you want smoke, better let 'em know over here, that shit get growed
Ah, when they all fall
That thunderstorm come and it's gon' bring rain
Really been traumatized, honestly seen things
I almost gave up, but that's when spring came

[Chorus]
I'ma have to take a stand for the shit I believe in
Got rich and almost died tryin', so I need my respect
This shit run through my blood, it's not the air we breathe in
'Cause if it was, I'd be just like these other rappers, but I'm blessed
Why I feel like everybody sneak dissin'? Like they won't be missin'? Leave 'em with three senses
I'ma try to knock them ears and nose off
Hear 'em say I change 'cause I'ma be different, that shit don't be fiction, and I don't be hidden
I'ma keep my guard until I doze off
